One of the hottest and fastest rising featherweight contenders, Miguel “Mikey” Garcia (21-0, 18 KOs) of Oxnard, CA, trained by his brother former junior lightweight champ Robert Garcia and father Eduardo Garcia, has just been added to Latin Fury 14, which features the return of the “Tijuana Tornado” Antonio Margarito, in Aguascalientes, Mexico. The undefeated Garcia will defend his USBA featherweight title for the first time in 10 round bout on Saturday, May 8th against an opponent yet to be determined and will open up the televised portion of the pay-per-view event.

In his last outing, which took place on April 3rd in Corpus Christi, TX, the twenty-two year-old Garcia needed only 67 seconds against Tomas “El Norteño” Villa (22-7-4, 14 KOs). Garcia dropped Villa twice which prompted the referee to call a halt to the action in the first round.

Latin Fury 14 will be shown live on Pay-Per-View and is being promoted by Top Rank, in association with Zanfer Promotions and Tecate.
